Today Reminder (Create) – 27 November 2017


A reminder for today
Hide Your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right and steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. (Psalms 51:9-11)

From black Friday to cyber Monday. How was your weekend, my friend? Did you shop? We went to visit my parents in their new home and it was just great to spend a little time with them. The kids loved it and I got a little rest in which was needed. One thing I must say is that this country is a beautiful country. We drove down taking the N4 highway to Belfast and it rained almost all the way. As you travel you drive past many farms and open country. After dodging the potholes in Belfast, you get onto a smaller but very beautiful road taking you to Dullstroom. The road winds and crinkles through open areas and mountains that is breath takingly beautiful. Dullstroom is a small little town that consist of mostly hotels and restaurants and shops with all kinds of African curios. It is a busy little hub where many city people drive down to for the weekend to eat some our best cuisine and enjoy the open air and maybe fish a little of play golf or just leisure around. After this the road continues to bend and wind all the way down to Lydenburg. From here you drive through some of the most beautiful parts of our country and to do this is an absolute privilege. I think God had fun when He made South Afrika, because it is stunning. Driving and enjoying His creation really brings you closer to God.

Just imagine how much detail God added to the country side and how amazing it is to see and experience, then imagine how much detail He added to you and how amazing you are. Only sin can pollute our lives and contaminate our relationship with the Lord. So, today we ask that the Lord just blot out our iniquities and create in us a clean heart. Let God renew a right and steadfast spirit in you so that all will look at you in amazement knowing that God is with you. We ask that the Lord pull us into His presence and fill us with His Holy Spirit so that our joy will be contagious to everyone we meet.

Lord, make us shine so that all will see, that with you we are victorious. In Jesus name.  

Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus. 

Cheers
